Dear Members of Congregation Tifereth Israel,

Community Action Southold Town, Inc. (CAST) would like to thank Congregation Tifereth Israel for its generous support over the past year. As you are well aware, the COVID-19 health and economic crisis was very challenging, and people of color, low-income families, and rural communities were hit the hardest. CAST could not have met the unprecedented need without the support of the local community, including Congregation Tifereth Israel.

We want to acknowledge all that you have done to help CAST and our neighbors in need. You have provided:

  • 240 whole chickens
  • Diapers in all sizes
  • Tomato and herb plants for clients to grow at home
  • Personal care items for men and women
  • Fresh vegetables and herbs from the Common Ground Garden

Your compassion and kindness have improved the daily lives of our most vulnerable community members by helping to ensure that their basic needs are met. Your generosity helped strengthen the safety net that so many relied upon during the global pandemic, and that many continue to need as they struggle to make ends meet. A community is stronger when all members are healthy and thriving.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Cathy Demeroto

Executive Director
